Best B.O.P. stock and super stockers of all time

Occasionally, I run across a Pontiac that just deserves special recognition. This is definitely one of those cars. It's the Mulry & Aceves '74 Firebird Stocker.

Back in the early 2000's, this car qualified #1 at lots of races. Sometimes it would be more than 1.5 seconds under it's index. Here's an example from a nat event at Vegas, in '04. It was #1 @ 1.544 under ! Notice also that Scott Burton was not far behind, @ #3, & John Schloe was #7.

In '04, it qualified #4 at Indy. 9 Pontiac Stockers qualified in the top half of the field that year !

It also got the K/SA class win that year.

BTW, that was an All-Pontiac class final, against Don Holmes' '77 Bird !

K/SA index was 12.95. Mulry ran 11.562. Holmes ran 11.571.

On May 17, 2003, the car set both ends of the K/SA nat record.

On July 5, 2003, it set both ends the L/SA record, this time in full Trans Am trim.

And, on May 1, 2004, it set both ends of the J/SA record.

That Bird has quite a record of performance !
